Solutions – individual, integratedand process-orientedand timely <strong>con</strong>struction of <strong>INSPIRE</strong>-compliant services,without having to abandon established workflows.• Creation and maintenance of <strong>INSPIRE</strong>-compliant spatialdata and metadata in ArcGIS Desktop using <strong>INSPIRE</strong>geodatabase templates and an <strong>INSPIRE</strong> metadataeditor,• Publication of <strong>INSPIRE</strong>-compliant view and downloadservices using <strong>INSPIRE</strong> Service Extension <strong>for</strong> ArcGISServer,• Support <strong>for</strong> the process of providing existing datathrough <strong>INSPIRE</strong> geodatabase templates (e.g. <strong>INSPIRE</strong>Solution Pack <strong>for</strong> FME),• Cataloguing, indexing and publishing <strong>INSPIRE</strong>compliantmetadata using the open source-licensedEsri Geoportal Server and its <strong>INSPIRE</strong>-compliantdiscovery services.<strong>INSPIRE</strong> places new challenges on public administrations.The additional data preparation and datarelease requirements often necessitate new, modifiedtechnologies. The best solution is oriented towards theobligations that have to be fulfilled in accordance with<strong>INSPIRE</strong>, the structure of the organisation, establishedworkflows, responsibilities, system environment andother aspects which need to be taken into <strong>con</strong>siderationwhen an efficient spatial data management system iscreated.Individual requirements necessitate individual solutions:these can range from the addition of matched componentsto existing systems to a comprehensive, all-roundsolution. This is exactly where <strong>con</strong> <strong>terra</strong> provides itssupport, based on its many years of experience in therealisation of customer-specific solutions in Europe.sdi.suiteBeyond the publication of homogenised spatial data andmetadata, <strong>INSPIRE</strong> also regulates further aspects of theestablishment of a European SDI, <strong>for</strong> example, in the fieldsof data exchange, access <strong>con</strong>trol, licensing, monitoringand reporting. The practice-proven sdi.suite componentscomprise fitting solutions which are optimised <strong>for</strong> interactingwith ArcGIS <strong>for</strong> <strong>INSPIRE</strong>.• securityManager: offers user management andsingle sign-on functions as well as security of <strong>INSPIRE</strong>data, services, resources and extended logging,• licenseManager: <strong>for</strong> licensing and e-commerce with<strong>INSPIRE</strong> data, services and applications (supports the<strong>INSPIRE</strong> Basic License and Specific License) includinginvoicing functions,• serviceMonitor: monitors service quality in accordancewith the specifications of <strong>INSPIRE</strong> networkservices, and extensive use logging to support <strong>INSPIRE</strong>reporting.Training – systematic, qualifiedand practicalFor <strong>con</strong> <strong>terra</strong>, training success means systematically puttinglearned material into practice. The range of training opportunitiesoffered covers both the teaching of fundamentalSDI and <strong>INSPIRE</strong> knowledge and specific product-relatedand thematic training units.Our qualified and certified trainers possess many years ofproject experience in the field of designing and buildingspatial data infrastructures. Course material is regularlymodified and optimised in close cooperation with participantsand <strong>con</strong> <strong>terra</strong>’s SDI experts, <strong>for</strong> example, from the<strong>INSPIRE</strong> drafting teams.In addition to standard training <strong>con</strong>ducted at seven sitesthroughout Germany, as well as online training, <strong>con</strong> <strong>terra</strong>offers, the chance to benefit from individually <strong>con</strong>figuredtraining, even on-site, if so desired.
